Hello, I'm new to this site and I am looking for a bit of help. I'm a mechanical engineer so my knowledge on practical electronic circuits is limited.
I am trying to install a control system on a project that I am doing. The project is as follows
1 - System is Tripped (switch tuned on)
2 - electric actuator (A) must be lowered till it's maximum position
3 - a delay of 1 to 2 min must occur
4 - Electric actuator (B) must be lowered to it's maximum position
5 - A delay of 1 to 2 min must occur
6 - electric actuator (B) must be raised
7 - once that is complete, electric actuator (A) must be raised
8 - system is back to original position and ready to be tripped again
I would also like to be able to do a system reset in case of power failure and such
I do not know wither to use a PLC or if this can be done using a combination of relays and time delay relays. I need the solution before the 15th of December. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much
